Status is incredibly important for most people, and we strive for status perhaps more than anything else. Status helps explain the paradox that as societies become richer, fertility usually drops. Even though absolute well-being has risen, living in a wealthy society offers no increase in relative status. In fact, the status competitions of modern life, like education and career, directly compete with family life. This also tracks with how in cultures where parenthood is elevated to high status, such as among religious subgroups like the Amish, Haredi Jews and traditionalist Catholics, fertility can be much, much higher. As well, this helps explain the remarkable fertility of England and Wales during Victorian Times. Queen Victoria, the personification of the era, both inherited and carried forward a culture that conferred high-status on motherhood in raising nine children. In Korea meanwhile, the highest status people are childless, and culture is filled with every status competition but one around parenthood. The message is that we have to find a way to honor motherhood like our civilization depends on it. Mongolia helps show the way! 8/8 Follow @MoreBirths for more on the low birthrate crisis and hopeful answers to it.

Elevating the Status of Motherhood Solves Low Birthrates: The Extraordinary Case of Mongolia For 68 years, Mongolian leaders have given the Order of Maternal Glory to mothers. This raised the status of motherhood and helped forge a remarkably pronatal culture. 🧵, please share!

I learned this insanely late! Like 2 years ago. Most people do the loop the wrong direction… After you make one bunny ear, wrap the other lace around it from the toe-side of the ear. Not the ankle side. If done properly, the entire bow ends more linear (than the wrong direction) and stays muuuuuch better.

Air conditioning should not be treated as a normal answer to every hot day. It is an emergency tool that has been turned into a lifestyle. If we cannot function without machines cooling every room, then we have failed at housing, planning and climate responsibility.

As someone who lives in Portugal which already stops every single package you get from outside EU with no exceptions for a decade or more: I can tell you how this will go From now on if you receive a package from outside EU, it'll first go missing for weeks and nobody will know where it is, then you'll receive an email from your country's customs agency They'll make you login to some extremely unusable and outdated web portal which breaks half the time and where you have to classify your shipment in one of 10,000 confusing category codes Depending on the category code you'll pay a different tax rate, sometimes it's 5% sometimes it's 60% Then you have to pay the customs duty in some archaic way that will also be broken half the time And then you'll finally receive your package from outside EU after months Experiencing this for a few times you'll realize you will never ever try to order or receive anything from outside EU ever because the ordeal is too painful and expensive I get asked a lot here by people from US to test out new products (like the guy who made the Minimal Phone) and it's just literally impossible for me to receive it even for testing. I tried to classify it as samples for testing but you need to go through a bureaucratic process of insane lengths to get that through so I just gave up Realistically all this does is make Europeans live even more in the stone ages, as now they can't use modern AI, nor get modern products from outside EU because it'll be too much hassle to order

From today, customs duties apply to e-commerce parcels worth up to €150 entering the EU. 30 million Europeans work in retail; it's our our largest private-sector employer. And the surge in low-value online imports has put our retailers at an unfair disadvantage. Too many of these products also fail to meet EU safety standards, putting consumers at risk. Today's change is about restoring fairness for European businesses and better protecting our consumers.

@typesfast Nice. Is Santa Monica Airport still closing in 2028? I know they planned on turning it into a park over building housing.

@typesfast Dude it’s insane. Lots of people ask me if former USA Olympians get free tickets….we can’t even get them at full price! If anyone has men’s 1500m finals tickets let me know. I’d love to watch my old race!
